CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— DISGUSTING, OUTRAGEOUS: 42 books on race: What a proposed Illinois reading list means for our schools – BETH FEELEY
(DIERSEN: Needless-to-say, parents should not send their children to public schools unless they want them to be anti-law enforcement, anti-Trump, anti-conservative, anti-patriotic, anti-Republican, anti-American, anti-White, anti-male, anti-older people, anti-heterosexual, anti-traditional marriage/family, anti-non-poor people, anti-gun owners, anti-Christian, anti-Protestant, anti-Italian American, anti-German American, and/or anti-those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time.)
https://www.chicagotribune.com/opinion/commentary/ct-opinion-schools-reading-list-race-20210325-2xw7vfamm5fvnekslavahfsrdu-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: This trend in public education toward government-imposed social activism is cause for alarm among Illinois parents on both sides of the aisle who value intellectual diversity and freedom of thought. . .Just take a look at the list of mandatory reading Illinois children will be assigned. The legislation that would mandate the list, HB 0080, outlines a highly skewed 42-book list of mandatory reading for every public elementary, middle and high school student, and includes titles such as “Hood Feminism,” “How to Be an Antiracist” and “White Fragility: Why It’s So Hard for White People to Talk about Racism.” Not every book on this list reflects the critical race theory-inspired ideologies like those of included authors Ibram X. Kendi and Robin DiAngelo. But 42 books — almost 10,000 pages — on race? The reading list will dominate the curriculum.)
— DIERSEN HEADLINE: Pot pushers push pot. To push pot on an individual, municipality, township, county, state, or country is to destroy that individual, municipality, township, county, state, or country.

— DIERSEN HEADLINE: Because minorities, females, LGBTQers, and younger people are the base of the Democrat Party, whenever there is a mass shooting, Democrats always hint/imply/argue/shout that the shooter wanted to shoot minorities, females, LGBTQers, and/or younger people because the shooter hated minorities, females, LGBTQers, and/or younger people. Democrats always hint/imply/argue/shout that shooters are Trump supporters, conservative, patriotic, Republican, American, White, male, older, heterosexual, married, non-poor, gun owners, Christian, Protestant, Italian American, German American, and/or those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time.

(DIERSEN: My superiors in the federal government were always under tremendous pressure from Democrat politicians to get rid of their employees who were Republican, White, male, older, and/or non-veteran. My Democrat GAO superiors forced me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old, gave me unfair performance expectations and appraisals, always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, did not promote me beyond GS-13, got rid of my mentor in 1987, kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO, and forced me to take a $20,361 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980. My Democrat IRS superiors not promote me beyond GS-12, disallowed my education deductions in 1978, got rid of my mentor in 1975, and disallowed my partial day per diem claims in 1974. My Democrat Post Office superiors forced me resign in 1969 and disallowed my sick leave requests in 1969 and 1968.)

DAILY CALLER
— Google, Facebook Tried To Donate Six Figures To Heritage Foundation. The Think Tank Said No – MICHAEL GINSBERG
(DIERSEN: He who pays the piper calls the tunes. I should write a book about RINO activists, RINO candidates, RINO party leaders, and RINO organizations that act like they take big donations from those who promote dependency on government, dependency on charity, LGBTQ, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, abolition of the First and Second Amendment, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination. I would focus on those RINO activists, RINO candidates, RINO party leaders, and RINO organizations that have worked the hardest against me.)

(DIERSEN: RINOs cancel Republicans like me who support the traditional marriage/family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks in the Republican Party platform. RINOs cancel Republicans like me who they cannot manipulate/dominate, who refuse to glorify and praise them, who refuse to pander to them, who refuse to serve as one of their operatives or dupes, and who refuse to give them money. I should write a book about RINOs.)
